Lifestyle in The Villages
There is a reason The Villages has 20 people moving to The Villages every day. There is a reason over 400 new and preowned homes are being sold each month. I discovered why in 2011 when I moved to The Villages and have been a big fan and advocate for The Villages for one main reason, The Lifestyle.
You can do as much or as little as you want, 693 holes of golf, number 1 in the world (number 2 has 216 holes), 10,000 tee times available every day, over 100 tennis courts, 100 pickle ball courts, 96 recreation centers, 2,400 organized clubs, 3 town squares with nightly entertainment, 5,200 softball games played a year which includes 216 teams of Men’s, Ladies and Co-ed.
When you describe a “golf cart community” you should use The Villages as an example. It’s estimated there are 60,000 golf carts in The Villages which travel estimated 6 + million miles a year (25,100 trips to the moon). With over 100 miles of golf cart paths, over 100 places to dine and most retail and medical faculties accessible by golf cart you might find your car parked a lot.
You might think The Villages is a retirement community, I prefer to call it a living life to the fullest community. The average age in The Villages is male 62 and female 60, many of us refer to The Villages as “Disney World for Adults”. It seems your youth returns when you move her, whether it’s your 55 Chevy golf cart, the Street Rod carts or you dream car (cart) from your teenage years. Show off your tricked-out golf cart showing up in one of the squares for an evening of dancing or people watching!
My personal opinion is people live longer is staying active and being in The Villages oh can you be active. There is another fact about The Villages and longevity, the survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest in The Villages last year was 44% – about 7 times the national average of only 6%. So many residents take CPR training plus some neighborhoods are investing in CPR/AED programs. Another fact is according to the FBI The Villages has the lowest crime rate of any metropolitan in the state of Florida.
